Thank you, Cleveland. I don’t have a problem with a former NBA player visiting with the North Korean tyrant, I just don’t understand why the U.S. State Department didn’t insist on sending one-time Cavaliers great World B. Free.

One funny mother: Lisa Landry is talks about life, relationships, men and motherhood – among other things – in her act.

"You want to meet my baby? He’s cute. I can go get him, he’s in the car," the Louisiana native New York comic tells her audience. "I’m not a bad mama. There’s a pit bull watching him. I didn’t leave him alone."

She even makes jokes about how babies are made.

"I’m from a small little boring town where we never had anything fun to do. Like if you’re looking for a good time in my hometown on a Friday night, you can go to the

Dairy Queen or make a baby," she says. "Two of my cousins got knocked up because they were lactose intolerant."

And pregnancy is no cakewalk: "Being pregnant sucks. You cannot drink for nine months. At least not in public, that’s trashy."

Landry performs at 7:30 Thursday ($17), 7:30 and 10:15 p.m. Friday and Saturday ($20) and 7 p.m. Sunday at the Improv, 1148 Main Ave., next to Shooter’s on the west bank of Cleveland’s Flats. Call 216-696-4677.

At Hilarities: Comedian Dov Davidoff spouts off like the guy next to you on the barstool. Not the sullen barfly he played in “Invincible.” More like the hyper hilarious guy.

He knows what it’s like to have loved and lost.

“Love is like the highs are high and the lows are low,” he says. “If love were like a drug, people would be like you, ‘Stay away from that stuff, you could lose your house, man.’

“It’s like being on hard drugs. Six months will go by and your friend will be like. ‘You married who? She took what?’ And you’ll be like, ‘There’s nothing I could do. I was on that love.’”

On sale now: Comedian John Mulaney, a Saturday Night Live writer, performs at 8 p.m. March 15 at the Ohio Theatre.

He has this to say about Girl Scout Cookie season on SNL’s Weekend Update in 2010: "Why can’t you just buy them in a supermarket? Why are they only available once a year through some weird organization? It’d be like if they only sold Coca-Cola in July and you could only buy it from the Knights of Columbus."
